The house was from 1890 and it fell down or something in like 1920 - 1930ish.
Found glass in holes that I found the other stuff, nails, round bolt head? possible part of a garden digging claw.

What is interesting is that the green bottle is Rock Creek Ginger Ale, made in Washington DC it is from 1920's. It's a shame I didn't find the rest of it.

The other item is like a very large screw crank? anyone know anything about it?

Oh and attached at the bottom of the pictures is what the green bottle used to look like whole.

That iron screw thing is actually part of a hinge. That screw would get screwed into the door frame and the other half would be attached to the door.
 

Now thats one green green bottle, I love it... :thumbsup:
 

Incajoe, you mean like those swinging bar doors like at a salon in the western days type of thing?

More than likely a barn door. The other half would be the typical strap hinge type that you see on old barns or possibly a home (but doubtful).
